These Crazy Kids!

Seems like Jack and Anna are growing like crazy these days and so here are some updates on their new tricks and habits....

Jack's really started talking these last few months which has been both helpful and entertaining. Here are some words which he gets wrong every time, even with a little pronunciation coaching:

cheese: keen
motorcycle: mogercycle
helicopter: helcopit
soda: fabuoy (not sure where that came from but that is how he says it!)



He loves helping Christian out in the garage. He picks up tools and pretends to fix the bikes. If only he would put those tools back! We're missing a few...

He also loves to wear Christian's ties. He steals them out of the closet all the time and puts together some rather strange outfits. The one with the hard hat Carly caught while she was out visiting.

Here is Anna standing which is one of her new tricks. She also loves to clap, wave, and show everyone how big she is.

Ever since she has been able to crawl she has been so much happier. Jack doesn't love it so much because Anna sneaks over and tries to steal his snacks and toys. It has been a real adjustment for him, but we're working on it. He looks so big standing next to Anna, I have to remind myself he's still two and that she is old enough to be walking. They get big so fast!

While We've Been Away...

We've had a pretty busy month. Not that that is an excuse for not posting for so long, but it has been busy. First, we had a visit from Carly at the end of August. She came out for a week and we had a lot of fun just relaxing and enjoying the nice weather. We can't wait till she comes hopefully comes back for Christmas. Here is a couple of pictures we took while visiting Grandma Hancock.

Right after Carly left, Lisa came down for a couple of weeks. Jack loved having Grandma around and has been asking for her since she left. We went up to Swiss Days in Midway while she was here and had a really wonderful time. It is probably the best festival/fair that I have been to in Utah. Can't wait to go next year.

This was a cool looking old gas station up in Midway that someone turned into a preschool!

Here is Jack testing his strength at the park! Don't worry, Grandma Lisa was standing right off camera.

Finally, we also hit the Utah State Fair last weekend. It was around 90 degrees that day and so we spent a lot of time indoors looking at the animals. Here is my favorite- the baby pigs!

One of the shows at the fair was this guy wrangling a crocodile. He is holding the croc's mouth shut with his chin. Nuts huh!
